SECTION D -- COURTS AND CONSTITUTIONAL OFFICES
JUVENILE AND DOMESTIC RELATIONS COURT
DEPARTMENT BUDGET SUMMARY
MISSION STATEMENT: To provide effective,
efficient and quality services, programs and interventions for juveniles,
adults and families while addressing public safety, victim impact, offender
accountability and competency development in conformance with court orders,
provisions of the Code of Virginia and standards set forth by the Department of
Juvenile Justice.
FY 2006 PRIORITIES: The
FY 2006 priorities of the Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court
(JDR) are:
-
To broaden and refine services to Arlington's
residents, with particular emphasis on the County's multi-cultural and diverse
population.
-
To continue to maximize benefits of the computerized
case management system, minimize the delay in resolution of cases and minimize
waiting times of witnesses, attorneys and victims.
PRINCIPAL PROGRAMS: The principal programs
of JDR are:
-
Probation/Intake Units (Court Services)
-
Multi-Jurisdictional Programs
SIGNIFICANT BUDGET CHANGES: The FY 2006 proposed budget for
Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court is $4,279,862, a five percent
decrease from FY 2005 budget. The
budget reflects:
-
Increase in personnel due to normal step increases
($67,201).
-
Decrease in non-personnel primarily due to the
elimination of the Aurora House Program ($311,037) as a result of the loss of
Title IV-E grant, and decreases in telephone charges ($3,213), rental of
operating equipment ($3,309) and travel ($4,039). These decreases are partly offset by increases in the Sheltercare
Program ($15,945) and rental of Court Square West for the Girls' Outreach
Program ($10,012).
-
Decrease in revenue due to the loss of Title IV-E funds
($322,000), a decrease in the DCJS Juvenile Accountability Block Grant
($10,677) and reduced projections in Falls Church reimbursements ($5,095) based
on reconciliation with FY 2004 actual payments.
